Hey Babe

That is what my 2 year old said to me.  My husband will says that to me when he’s trying to get my attention. 

So, I was working on something and my 2 year old was playing with some toys with his dad.  My son stops what he’s doing so he can show me what he’s working on.  He looks at me and says, “hey babe...”  I look at him with this shocked (and laughing) face thinking what did my son just call me? 

‘Milk’

My youngest, who’s now one, finally started signing ‘milk’ the other day.  I’ve been teaching my kids American Sign Language.  He’s real proud of himself too.  :)

I started doing ASL with my older one when he was 6 months.  Now he’s three and does really well.  My older one started signing before he was one, but I think I was able to work with him more than I am able to with my second.  I’m working on that, though.  :)  It’s a lot of fun. 

You've Gotta Love It

Matching! My youngest is finally at the age where I can buy my boys matching clothes. I know...I won't do it forever. They're SO cute. No, I don't have them match all the time, just occasionally...really.

I have friends tell me, "My mom did that to my sister and I when we were 12." I'll try not to do it that long. :)

But for right now, I'm going to do it. It's TOO cute! Maybe I'll get over it in a few months, we'll see.

Fun Airplane Trip...For Mom

We took our kids on an airplane for the first time. I read all these tips and got more tips from friends on what to bring, etc. I was told to feed the baby during take off and landing. I brought a couple toys and the portable DVD player with a Curious George movie for my eldest.

So we’re finally on the plane, my eldest is excited to be in this BIG COOL airplane. Before the plane moves, he’s ready to get up and walk around. I tell him that we’ll watch George in a few minutes. So the plane finally begins to take off and he’s looking out the window. We get above some clouds and I hear him say, “clouds!” and I look at my husband and then back at him and he’s…asleep.

He stayed asleep until we landed. The baby slept on and off and he played with some toys. So basically, this plane ride with kids was a piece of cake.

New Adventures

Something new...My husband worked from home since my eldest was born so he's been great help with the kids. Now he works 5 days a week in the office...yeah.

We're in an apartment temporarily, so during the day I have to take our dogs out for a walk (bathroom break). So I have the baby in the front carrier, I'm holding my other son's hand on one side and my dogs leashes on the other side. Yeah...it's a lot of fun. Hopefully I won't have to keep this up for too much longer.

Adding One

Going from one kid to two isn’t too bad. Our first really kept me busy to the point that when I was pregnant with my second, I was worried that I would go crazy with two. But, my second is so much easier then my first ever was. Not that I’m saying having two is a piece of cake. I’d say my “me” time has gotten so small that I can hardly see it anymore…I’m still working on that. But, I’m sure my second being easier is partially due to my already knowing what to expect from my first. Of course, I do have two boys so I know trouble is in their future. ;)
